[I Ask to reopen the bug 21560]

There is no kernel in Gentoo 1.4 RC 4 then I do "modprobe ppp_generic" (for 
example) in order to install my alcatel speedtouch modem for install Gentoo 
from the Internet. It is strange because you talk about the kernel in the 
documentation.

its quite impossible to boot linux without a kernel... 
Youll need to explain better as i have no idea what your talking about. 
 
				Thanks

Exactly, thereis a kernel to boot Gentoo Linux. But, to install my Alcatel 
Speedtouch
modem, I need some modules (ppp_generic for example) which they are not in the 
loaded
kernel.
Then, I have an interest to have a lot of modules in the loaded kernel or a full
kernel source (like the previous versions of Gentoo) in the stage 3. Yes, the 
tutorial
talk about a kernel in the stage 3 and there is no kernel in the stage 3 of the 
version
1.4 RC 4.
